Oklahoma has the nation's toughest immigration laws. Lawmakers put in place HB 1804 last year.
While immigration enforcement has been the task of federal authorities, Tulsa County Sheriff's Department officers have received training on making arrests for being in the United States illegally.
HB 1804 also made it illegal for anyone to knowingly assist or provide help to someone who is in the country illegally.
